Quotes

View selected quotes from this page in Wilford Woodruff's journal.

we can be made vessels of honour what can we be made vessels of honour after we have moved in the hands of the potter & ground over again yes this will be the case with man but it is far better to be passive in the hands of God & be made a vessel of honor the first time than to wait thill till we have to be ground over again this is a figure which the prophet Jeremiahah made use of. Now President Young is the Master Potter here on Earth & we should be subject to him in all things we should all remember that we have got to render up our stewardship to God therefore we should be faithful in all things. And I pray that the spirit of God may rest upon you that you may do right & be saved with a full salvation. And I ask it in the name of Jesus Christ Amen
~ Heber C. Kimball
22 I spent the day in reading & writing I read the Books of Ecclesiastes, songs of Solomon, & Isaiah through And I could see by the Prophet Isaiah that one of the causes of the universal destruction & abolishment of all the gentile Nations upon the face of the whole Earth in the last days will be in consequence of the univer- sal Ill treatment of the House of Israel viz the Jews among all Nations & the Lamanites in America.
~ Wilford Woodruff
